The Irrgarten in Burg (Spreewald) is an outdoor hedge maze located at the Spreewaldhof Lukas complex. The attraction challenges visitors to navigate through dense greenery to reach a central tower. It is designed primarily for families and children, offering a structured physical activity within the rural landscape of the Spreewald region. The maze is integrated with the wider Spreewaldhof Lukas property, which features traditional regional architecture and agricultural displays. The path system requires spatial reasoning to complete successfully. It serves as a recreational focal point within the local tourism infrastructure of the Brandenburg state.
The viewing platform at the center of the maze offers the best vantage point for photos of the surrounding greenery.
